Whilst riding at the weekend I noticed slight play in the rear wheel.
When I got home I stripped it down and there didn't appear to be anything amiss. I have a second Pro 2 Evo wheel, so put the freehub inside the hub and there was still play. So it must be the bearing inside the hub.
What bearing(s) do I need?
Hope tech docs are pretty good. Should be this one.

Thanks for that intel Nick, an exploded diagram is just what I was after 🙂
Its easier to detect play with the wheel on the bike as its held in position and you're wobbling it from the rim. A bit like cup and cone. All feels fine with no play till you fit it then the extra leverage you have you can feel slight play. It will be much like that

Exactly this.
Don't strip everything down and replace the bearings, only to find it's the dropout bolts. Just saying.

That is very much the kind of thing I'd do @oldnpastit, but on this occasion I checked the dropout bolts, skewers etc. I tried my spare wheel in the frame and it was play free. Its the hub bearings I'm sure.
